Marist Sports Information Director Mike Ferraro said the Red Foxes held a team workout that Dunne observed Wednesday, and he conducted “informal one-on-ones” with his players. Ferraro said Dunne didn’t hold a formal team meeting.

In sports other than football, NCAA rules permit participation in up to two hours per week of skill-related instruction during the offseason, provided not more than four student-athletes from the same team are involved at any one time in any facility.

Dunne was named Marist’s new head men’s basketball coach — its fifth in the last 12 seasons — on Tuesday. He was previously the head coach at Metro Atlantic Athletic Conference rival Saint Peter’s for the past 12 seasons.

The Peacocks were 153-225 under Dunne, a stretch that included a MAAC title and NCAA tournament appearance in 2011. Dunne also led Saint Peter’s to a CollegeInsider.com Tournament championship in 2017.

A Queens native, Dunne played high school and college basketball in New York, and had stints as an assistant coach in some schools in the state, including Siena, Adelphi and Manhattan prior to his tenure at Saint Peter’s.

Dunne replaces Mike Maker, who Marist dismissed on March 5. Maker was 28-97 in his four years at the helm, and was 6-25 last season. Over the past 10 years, Marist is 79-236.
